the Norris Green housing estate, and was due to start secondary school at Fazakerley High School in
September 2007.

Rhys, who played for The Fir Tree Boys football club, was on his way home from football practice
with two friends. As he was crossing the Fir Tree pub car park, on Fir Tree Drive South in the
Croxteth Park estate, Liverpool, a hooded youth riding a silver mountain bike approached. He then
held out a handgun at arm's length firing three shots. It was originally believed that one of the
shots hit Rhys in the neck.

However, during the trial the pathologist revealed the bullet had entered his back "slightly above
the left shoulder blade" and that it had then "exited from the front right side of his neck". The
shooting occurred in daylight at 7.30 pm BST.

Rhys's mother rushed to the scene when she heard what had happened.By the time his mother had
reached him, Rhys was unconscious. Paramedics tried for one and a half hours to resuscitate him, but
he was pronounced dead some time later in Liverpool's Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

It is eight weeks Beloved
Since you died
You left the stiffening inert lump of clay
That was no longer you
And cried aloud in ecstasy
And suddenly I knew
That all that we believed in
Lived for, told the world
Had at its smallest count
Some measure that was true
It is eight months, Beloved
Since you died
And out of my aloneness
I have woven strength
To build anew
For all there was
Of truth in our relationship
Had eddied, grown, intensified
Till with a clarion call it sounds
at the far reaches of the world -
There is no death
No separation of the ways
If man to love prove true
It is eight years Beloved
Since you died
And for eternity a part of you
Is in its essence me
I know you are
And in that certainty
Is woven all the fabric of my life
Gone is all sense of urgency and haste;
For all time now
Our spirits meet in time
Loving
We are no longer bound by love;
Heart of my heart,
We've set each other free

Love Always Mary xxxx

When the pain and grief are over
When it's my time to be by your side
I know you'll be waiting for me
And will greet me with arms open wide
♥
Until then I'll go on living
Though the light in my life has gone
The road will be long and lonely
But I'll bear up and try to be strong
♥
I pray that angels will guide me
Help me to get through this pain
Give me the strengh to go on
Till we are together again

♥**** A Song Of Living ****♥
Because I have loved life
I shall have no sorrow to die
I have sent up my gladness on wings
to be lost in the blue of the sky
I have run and leaped with the rain
I have taken the wind to my breast
My cheek like a drowsy child
to the face of the earth I have pressed
Because I have loved life
I shall have no sorrow to die
I have kissed young Love on the lips
I have heard his song to the end
I have struck my hand
like a seal in the loyal hand of a friend
I have known the peace of heaven
the comfort of work done well
I have longed for death in the darkness
and risen alive out of hell
Because I have loved life
I shall have no sorrow to die
I give a share of my soul to the world
when and where my course is run
I know that another shall finish the task
I must leave undone
I know that no flower nor flint
was in vain on the path I trod
As one looks on a face through a window
through life I have looked on God
Because I have loved life
I shall have no sorrow to die

Where Is Heaven
Where is Heaven?
Is it somewhere in outer space?
Where does my loved one now dwell?
In some far and distant place?
Heaven is all around you...
It's as close as the air and love that surround you.
Heaven is everywhere... it's not just in the skies,
It's a spiritual dimension that can't be seen
Through human eyes.
How do I know my loved one is safe?
How do I know they are well?
How do I know they made it to Heaven?
Is there any way I can tell?
Your loved one is well in Heaven because
They're surrounded by God's love and care,
And I can promise you they made it to Heaven,
Because an angel guided them there!
Is there any way I can tell them how
Much they meant (and still mean) to me?
I'm not sure how to contact them, do you?
Know what Heaven's address can be?
Just talk... and know that they hear you,
Because you'll never be truly apart.
And Heaven's address? Well that's simple...
Just send thoughts care of your heart.

Dear Mr. Hallmark
I am writing you from Heaven,
and though it must appear
A rather strange idea,
I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit,
your stores to find a card.
A card of love for my mother
as this day for her is hard.
There must be some mistake I thought,
every card you could imagine,
except I could not find a card
from a child who lives in Heaven.
She is still a mother too,
no matter where I reside
I had to leave she understands,
but oh the tears she's cried.
I thought that if I wrote to you,
that you would come to know
that though I live in Heaven now,
I still love my mother so.
She talks with me and dreams with me,
we still share laughter too,
memory's our way of speaking now,
would you see what you could do?
My mother carries me in her heart,
her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me
sometimes far into the night.
She plants flowers in my garden,
there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents
trying to ease their pain as well.
So you see Mr Hallmark
though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way
to remind her of her wondrous worth.
She needs to be honoured
and remembered too.
Just like the children of earth
today will do.
Thank you Mr. Hallmark,
I know that you'll do your best
I have done all I can do;
to you I'll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her
how much she means to me
until I can do it for myself
when she joins me in eternity.

Love Mary xxxx

THINKING OF YOU ALL
Hugs From Heaven
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With feeling of sweet love
It's a hug from Heaven
From someone up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If little tiny snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.
Good Morning Beautiful Angel Rhys

Sometimes it's hard to understand,
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words,
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead,
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories,
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers,
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend,
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond,
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories,
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes,
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by,
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories,
That never fade away.
